It’s ALIVE!

I can’t say if I’m nervous, excited, anxious or all of the above quite yet. Maybe it’ll hit me later on, but the reality hasn’t sunk yet. I’ve been on Instagram a while and am envious of the makers and content creators who seemingly have endless amounts of time to be talented, funny and build awesome stuff. They all started somewhere, and for me the somewhere is right here today.

Thankfully squarespace gave me two weeks to figure out how to build a website. Well, two weeks, a template, suggestions, online classes and videos and a daily reminder of how much time I had left to jump off the cliff to domain ownership. Who knew kiltedmoose.com wouldn’t be taken by some other nefarious individual? There are at least two other Kilted Moose businesses out there, one is closed and the other sells T-shirts in Canada. I don’t think we’ll get mixed up any time soon, although I did order myself a T-shirt of my own.

Now I can hopefully generate some sales to cover the monthly costs. In any case, I’ve figured out it’s less costly and time consuming than Etsy or other point of sale websites that want to take a portion of your sale as well as charge you for advertising. The competition is considerable and I feel I’ll be lost in a sea of wood workers who are doing this full time. I definitely envy those that can do this full time, with some determination and support I hope to get there in another 2 years when I retire from the Military. Might as well start planning for it now! Thanks for reading!
